39 is a terrible one to restart with
I’ve said this before but if you enjoy the strategy of The Traitors and want to watch it applied to a game mechanic that is much more fair, I can provide you with a Survivor watch-order that will delight and thrill you.
Cirie is The One. The way she 1. gets others to side with her without looking like she’s dictating things and 2. makes voting Savannah out sound good for the group as a whole rather than specifically good for her personally (which it is!)
Rick Devins causing a distraction to hide a fake immunity idol at tribal council to use at a later point……….immediate top 5 strategic move of all time to me.
46 points is the highest losing score (in 80 minutes) in international Test history.
Defector has come close but not really.

“The Straits of Hormuz are open, Iran just needs to stop attacking ships that try to use it”. “The war is over. We just need support from all our allies to win the fight”
Have Donald Trump and his cronies learned the weird time language of the aliens in Arrival or something?
England getting a big wooden spoon for their flop porridge, I love to see it.
Describing mines as an “artificial constraint” is extremely funny, I have to say.
I’m having a wonderful spring morning, can you tell?
Stunning! I love the way Cooper burrows deep into his characters’ heads but doesn’t lose sight of the world around them: music they’re listening to, films they love, BBC presenters whose voices they find irritating.
@fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social coming through in the clutch yet again.
These people seem to have completely bought into a Manichean view of politics where they’re on one side, and Keir Starmer, wind farms, the Ayatollah and, alas, the British public are on the other.
A fun/scary thing to think about is how The Dress would have gone down on today’s internet, if it would even have happened at all.
